We all saw The Hobbit over the weekend. I absolutely loved it…but that’s another story for another time. The story for today is that I realized just how much fun it is to load up the kids and go see a movie together. I also realized how much I miss going to movies on a regular basis. I just asked my Twitter friends this morning how often they go to movies, and the answers ranged from “Once or twice a month” to “Never!”

So I had the idea for a giveaway.

THE GIVEAWAY

Today, because going to movies is so wonderfully wonderful, I’m giving away four (4) $250 gift cards to the movie theater chain of each winner’s choice. With your gift cards, you can go see some of the movies you’re excited about…and even chow down on some popcorn. (And I realize that amount won’t necessarily cover a whole year…but it’ll help a bit.)

Or a pickle, if you’re me.

I’m weird.

TO ENTER

To enter the giveaway, just shout out the last movie you saw in the theater in the Comments section of this post.

It was The Lorax!!!! I don’t remember the last grown up movie i got to see in a real theater…my oldest is 13 so it was probably something playing in the summer of 1999.

Oh my – I can’t remember the last movie I went to see in the theater. I know we saw “The Perfect Storm” and “Titanic”. We been at least once since these but neither my husband or myself can remember which one it was. That’s BAD!!!!

“The King’s Speech” in March 2011. I hate guests that text and talk on their cell phones thus ruining the movie for the rest of us.

Wow, am I a curmudgeon or what!

I NEVER go to the movies…but my son goes all the time..so if I won, I would give him the prize..cuz at our local movie theater..$250 would buy 50 tickets! lol..anyways..the last movie I can remember watching in a theater would have probably been the first Sherlock Holmes movie that came out a couple of Christmases ago, and I went with my son then…told you I never go!

The Hobbit! It was wonderful, and the first movie I’d seen in a theater in years. Not that I don’t want to go to the theater…I think that’s the best way to see a movie, but because it’s difficult for my husband to justify the expense. If I won this, maybe I could convince him it’s “free!”

I love movies and I go often to the little art house theater in walking distance of my house. I’d want a gift certificate to there, if possible. The last movie I saw there was Chasing Ice, a couple of weeks ago. This weekend, they’ve got Anna Karenina. Thanks, Ree.

Les Mis. (On New Year’s Eve, in a packed theater. Who knew so many people would have the same idea?) It was SO worth it!
